#FRIDAY’S SPIRITUAL NUGGETS# IT’S NOT TIME; IS IT?

What are the issues we have to face when the membranes of our dreams are prematurely ruptured?

Ecclesiastes 3:1
There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:
Very often, we are eager to display our gifts, our talents and the dreams inherent in us.
In the process, it is indeed possible to ignorantly or over-zealously do things that would culminate in the premature births of our hearts’ progeny. Unfortunately, prematurity is indeed one of the greatest contributors to the mortality accrued to both fetuses and goals.
When it ain’t time, one of these might just hasten the death of one’s dreams:
1    1.    FORCE:
“A right time to wage war and another to make peace.” (Eccl 3:8b)
Many times, we think if we’re forceful enough, our dreams will come to pass. But have we considered our environment, the timing?
Sometimes, it’s not force that would bring us to the limelight in our chosen paths, patience might just be needed to mature us. And if we proceed to use traumatic methods, we just might prematurely puncture the egos of our dreams.

2    2.    UNPREPAREDNESS:
 “A right time to plant and another to reap,” (Eccl 3:2b)
While some use force, some of us would rather sit still and wait in belated hope. A weak, unprepared cervix is a good predictor of premature birth; so is an unprepared mind.
The unprepared individual has forgotten that it isn’t all who have had dreams that have birthed something that had breath; thus he just might join the company of those who birth un-living things!

3    3.    WRONG CONTENT:
“A right time to destroy and another to construct,” (Eccl 3:3b)
When the abdomen of a pregnant woman is distended with mostly amniotic fluid and less of a fetus, it seems like an overwhelming burden to bear- giving the wrong impression that the due date of delivery is near.
Any wonder that there’s spillage of some fluid?
It’s not just about the design of your concept, it’s about the content.
Fab designs might fetch us jobs, but it is only content that can keep us in place and always relevant.

So while we are at it, be it watering our dreams or even dreaming up more dreams, let’s pay cognizance- even if it’s a little- to the timing @ which we launch our ‘products’ into the grand market of life. Timing, is everything!

What are your thoughts on timing as regards dream-launching?

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ .

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...
